- Updated Statistics on
Organic Tree Fruit Production and Other Crops
- Two new reports provide up-to-date information on organic crop acreage. One report
details all the certified and transitional acres in Washington State by crop. The
other report provides the 2002 acreages for organic apples, pears and cherries in
Washington State, including apple and pear varieties. These reports complement
the more detailed analysis in
"Current
Trends in Organic Tree Fruit Production - 2001"
that covers national and international trends as well. All reports are in PDF format.

Soils and Fertilizers
- Outline of a Master Gardener Seminar by Jennifer Moore (formerly WSU-TFREC). "Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, organic compounds, and
living organisms that interact continuously in response to natural and imposed biological, chemical, and physical forces."

Estimating Water Use by Plants: Evapotranspiration Calculator
- The use of water by plants can be estimated by calculating what is known as potential evapotranspiration (pET). This is the
possible loss of water through evaporation and transpiration. Transpiration is the movement of water through a plant from the soil
into the roots, up the stem, and out through the leaves. Simple calculations of pET can be based on sun, wind, temperature, and
humidity.

A Field Guide to Experimental Designs
- The term experimental design is fairly generic and is best defined within the field of research in which it is used. Most of the designs
illustrated here are statistical layouts used in agricultural, environmental, and other biological research.
-
